Finland's Infamous Puukko Knife

[@jeffbanks5103]

Putting a picture of a Mosin Nagant with a scope is very misleading. Simo used iron sights only, no scope, making his numbers all the more impressive

[@mtlvmpr]

Well that and it wasn't really a Mosin Nagant but a version of it made by the Finns with custom front sight. Even a quick glance of the Wikipedia article would've told all this so I have no idea how this channel finds their sources. Probably just generated with LLM.

[@ludwigderzanker9767]

Amen to that!

thanks as soon as i seen that i came to make sure someone said this lol...

The puukko has a rat tail tang not a full tang.

[@Ahnii]

True, traditional puukkos also have birch bark handles finished with reindeer antler.

[@lindboknifeandtool]

Is it called rat tail when it doesn’t go all the way through? What is it called when it passes through and has a butt plate and all that, through tang?

[@maxlutz3674]

@@lindboknifeandtool It´s called rat tail tang when it´s considerably narrower than the blade. When it goes all the way through it´s still a rat tail tang. Sometimes the term "through tang" is used when it´s full length. Butt plate is not required. Many puukkos have only a small diameter plate for the peened tang. Full tang is a tang that extends over the full area of the handle and may or may not have scales. Tapered tang is a full tang with a distal taper.

[@jonipaananen9304]

Finns are not scandinavians, nor norse. Of course there's overlap regarding knife design, since they are geographically close, but finns have their separate history from the vikings and scandinavians. Please don't erase that.

[@aaronprabish7054]

While Finns are not Scandinavian or Viking, they are considered Norse. They share this Norse heritage within their flag along with the Scandinavians (Denmark, Norway, and Sweden) Iceland, as well as the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland. Yes Finns have their own separate history but they are Norse as "Norse" is another word for Nordic which they are apart of and are considered. Please don't forget that.

[@bufordhighwater9872]

​@@aaronprabish7054 Norse and Nordic each have multiple meanings. Some of those meanings are the same or similar, but not all of them. Finland is Nordic, but it is not Norse.

[@Blargaha]

@@aaronprabish7054 "Norse" is a reference to the people that spoke a specific north Germanic language in the middle ages. They spoke "Old Norse", which would become Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Icelandic. "Norse" =/= "Nordic". The Nordic countries are a modern political union. Finnish is not a Germanic language, and they're not Scandinavians. We love them, but they do their own thing. FYI. The Nordic Cross Flags, as they are officially known, are references to Christianity, not the Old Norse.

[@jaesungkim5478]

I love those flat bevels. So easy to sharpen.

[@dolomitearterius5036]

As a Finnish-American Puukko owner, I appreciate the attempt on covering this unique knife's history. My puukko is a traditional curly birch handle with a carbon steel blade. What this video doesn't do justice to is the handle of a well-made puukko. They are very thick, and shaped for comfort under extreme use. The knife showcased from :53 onward is a cheap example of a puukko handle. This Ahti Korpi is a much more accurate depiction as seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2m4qJR_iJ6dkMk

[@ajarrell3919]

You left out the Varustelka Tarava knives. Modern puukos that are battle ready. Great Finnish blades

[@indigomontoya8376]

First one I've seen was a Helle made ,at sportsman's wearhouse for $ 160 bucks years ago . My eyes were always drawn to it and grabbed it on sale for 130. Scary sharp and the other Yakut knife is on its own in terms of weirdness one-sided blade not very toothy edge wise but once cuts it does just fine .

[@Nickname-hier-einfuegen]

Ah yes, the infamous "knife knife".

Classic Mora knives are still very popular good to go, cheap and effective tools!

[@mooselineoutdoors]

They aren’t Finnish

[@JustClassicStuff]

@mooselineoutdoors i mean the general shape, yes I know Mora is Swedish

[@mooselineoutdoors]

@@JustClassicStuff I understand what you’re saying but Mora didn’t make the blade design, Finnish puukkos have been made for centuries before mora made them. But Mora tweaked the blade shape a little bit but they’re still modeled after Finnish puukkos.

[@JustClassicStuff]

@@mooselineoutdoors that's true! Thanks for claryfying!

[@michaelcaprio311]

I’d just like to say I ate my tomato/avocado sandwich too this video and was pleasantly satisfied with my choice I am subscribed, but, keep at it Knife Story - you make some interesting and generally good content. Also those who wonder how to make a tomato/avocado sandwich - toast your bread get mayo (not too much nor too little, on both slices), balsamic vinegar, olive oil, black pepper, and course sea salt - season the tomato slices with pepper and course sea salt of course, and layor the avocado on top of the tomato slices like a lasagna pour your olive oil and balsamic vinegar before closing your sandwich and boom enjoy also get some chills (potato chips) and a drink of your choosing water’s good. Also you can put whatever you want on your sandwiches as long as you evolve your sandwich making and cooking abilities that’s all that matters hell this basically 1 of the only sandwiches I know how too put together all that I’m trying to say is enjoy your sand 🏝which 🧙. And even if it’s ass there’s always peanut butter and jelly.

[@lindboknifeandtool]

Sounds super good, I always give up and use bacon tomato mayo and lettuce… I’m going to try your recipie!

[@mooselineoutdoors]

This guy has no clue what the hell he’s doing. This video has so many inaccuracies and mispronunciation.

[@michaelcaprio311]

@ you’re probably right, but, I had no idea the White Death possible carried a common Finnish knife that’s been a cultural staple in Finland for thousands of years - pretty interesting if you ask me.

[@michaelcaprio311]

@mooslineoutdoors my response was intended for you, there seems to be a good amount of inaccurate information all across KZbin, though, it’s good that it’s being pointed out, by we the viewers, and said KZbinr’s can fix said mistakes, or, at the very least do better research and learn how to properly pronounce the said terms in whatever language the story/topic there talking about is overall better… or they keep doing the same things which is awfully annoying and frustrating. Thank you for your input though and maybe you made my sandwich I detailed how to make then again a peanut butter jelly sandwich always is good.

[@JosephAllen-d2e]

Well, that was random. Imagine, it only took me 52 years to learn I could layer toast with tomato and avocado. I would have never figured that out without your erudite description. Thanks a bunch.

[@fraderiktan1505]

i always wonder why the puukko knife have a sheath that wrap parts of the grip, wouldnt it cause some issue when pulling out the knife ? especially since some grip had a smooth smaller end of the grip instead of a hook of sorts

[@knifestory]

Likely required for retention

[@Ahnii]

​@@knifestoryI own some puukkos and can confirm the sheet extends to the grip to hold it on place, especially for traditional bitch bark handled puukkos its very effective and secure while not requiring any special mechanism

[@lindboknifeandtool]

It’s designed for work not combat, I’d suspect one that would be suited for that would have a bulbous end or lanyard for grabbing

[@maxlutz3674]

It´s for protection and retention. A well fitted sheath holds the knife when held upside down and releases easily. It does not cause an issue. The grip often gets wider to the end or has a small ledge to allow better grip.

[@fraderiktan1505]

[@SaphoxxFTW]

Why are you calling it a knife knife? Puukko just means a knife, a tool knife, to be specific since Finnish has two separate words for different kinds of knives. Puukko for tool knives and veitsi for cutlery / kitchen knives.

[@adskafjrufhauäšhlklöjlllhhhui]

Puukko is this specific type of knife, ever other knife in Finnish is called "Veitsi". I know USA is a 3rd world clown factory with poor education... but please. Every puukko is a veitsi, but not every veitsi is a puukko.

[@UARAF16]

Get your facts straight this video is disrespectfully spreading lies.

[@AliceBowie]

Simo Häyhä was a Warrior-Saint for the 20th century. But Finns weren't vikings; they're Mongols. At least, that's what I gathered from Spurdo Spärde comics.

[@mooselineoutdoors]

Are you slow?

[@The_Horny_Ghost]

Finnish people are Baltic Finns, part of Finno-Ugric. North west from russia. Mongols are east asian, on the other side of the continent between chinese and russian border areas. Closer to Japan than western europe. The finns being mongol thing is it's own rabbit hole, with "race theorists", political agendas, even US labour disputes leading to call Finns as "ChinaSwedes". Kind of interesting topic to research how everyone in the world(well, western, civilized part) wanted to label us finns as something we are not. When all we wanted to be was our own people, and be left on our own.

[@The_Horny_Ghost]

Yeah and the mongol joke has it's own life in internet lore too....

[@TheNismo777]

Oh hell naah! You can't even pronounce the snipers name. Please stop this torture.

[@TheBlackClockOfTime]

I don't get it. Puukko literally means "Knife" in Finnish. All knives are puukkos in Finland.

[@infernalstormrider]

Actually knife is veitsi in finnish . Puukko is puukko

[@adskafjrufhauäšhlklöjlllhhhui]

No, puukko is a puukko, veitsi is a knife. every puukko isa veitsi, but every veitsi is not a pukko. Are all americans just 3rd world clowns?

[@shaifulafzan]

No fingers guard how they stab enemy without loose the fingers?

[@maxlutz3674]

It´s not a stabbing knife. You can hold it in a way that allows support with the palm or the thumb. If you have a bayonet, use the bayonet.

[@mooselineoutdoors]

It’s not a combat knife
